Success of Ureteral Stents for Intrinsic Ureteral Obstruction [PDF]

Journal of Endourology, 2008
Previous reports suggest a high success rate for retrograde ureteral stenting for intrinsic ureteral obstruction, but few preoperative predictors of success have been offered. We reviewed our experience to look for factors that suggest failure of stents for intrinsic ureteral obstruction.We retrospectively reviewed the outcome of retrograde ureteral ...

Malignant Ureteral Obstruction: Functional Duration of Metallic versus Polymeric Ureteral Stents. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Ureteral obstruction caused by extrinsic compression is often associated with intra-abdominal cancers. Internal drainage with ureteral stents is typically the first-line therapy to relieve such obstructions.

Alpha8 Integrin (Itga8) Signalling Attenuates Chronic Renal Interstitial Fibrosis by Reducing Fibroblast Activation, Not by Interfering with Regulation of Cell Turnover.

PLoS ONE, 2016
The α8 integrin (Itga8) chain contributes to the regulation of cell proliferation and apoptosis in renal glomerular cells. In unilateral ureteral obstruction Itga8 is de novo expressed in the tubulointerstitium and a deficiency of Itga8 results in more ...

Double trouble: diagnostic dilemma in a rare association of proximal ureteric valve with orthotopic ureterocele—case report

African Journal of Urology, 2020
Background Association of the ureterocele and proximal ureteral valve is a rare congenital anomaly which can lead to quick detoriation of renal function due to double obstruction. Though ureteral valves have been associated with other ureteral anomalies,
